What a Weekend For CrossFit Lions

We are so proud of all the athletes from our gyms and others that competed this weekend in Calgary. The level of athlete on the mens and womens side was incredible and the ones representing their gyms weren't too bad either.

We would like to welcome back into the Den Garth Prouse aka Bunches who finished as the 2nd fittest man in Canada. I'm sure there will be lots of videos and pictures to follow from the weekend with Garth in them. It was one hell of a performance.

Ainsley finishe 10th overall on the womens side and was really consistent all weekend. She was 12th heading into the final tire flip, clean and jerk run wod and she put down a wicked final event to move into the top ten. So proud of her. Ains was only 10lbs away on the snatch complex from qualifying for the Games.

Christoph aka Monkey coupled three awesome performance with two that he would like to have back to finish 24th. 3rd in the run, coupled with 6th on the last wod showed how versed and fit Monkey is. Hopefully this will mean that he will now try and represent the gym on the affiliate team in Cali.

Alicia aka Hattie did really well this weekend and finished 44th in the competition. Really proud of her for going out and there and battling through a lot of events that didn't favor her skill set....She also might have won a few dollars playing poker at the casino. At least that is the rumour.

Finally big ups to our team. Solo, Danimal, BB Guns, Robyn and Mel. Couldn't be prouder of you guys. I think every one of you performed above my expectations and I was thrilled with our 6th place finish. That punches our ticket to the CrossFit Games and we will now be one of 100 gyms worldwide who gets to workout at the Home Depot Center in LA. Really Cool.
